The Priory | North Bank | Regents Park. Wednesday.
My dear Mrs. Senior,
You are a good angel for taking trouble to help me in millinery which is a crux to me. The angels fold their great wings to enter through very small door places, and help the old women and little children, and sometimes they spare a little attention for me. I am very full of wings, I mean my mind is full of them, for we went to the British Museum yesterday, 632 and saw all sorts of winged creatures that were seen perhaps by Ezekiel. I shall expect you on Monday and be in at 4.
Always yours truly
M. E. Lewes.
